1680 with a twist

Recommended Posts

I've had this in my box for a year and just didn't like it well enough to even start on it. Finally I realized that the cyclops was throwing me off. So I shaved it off, drilled reshaped the CGs, drilled and installed the 2mm bars, relumed, painted the sec hand red and matt lacquered it. Installed an Athaya crown. Now I like it a lot better.
